Episode notes
Stan Lee: I often compare it to modeling exercises, but then what you would want is to take the whole spread of science fiction stories and say each one is one run through from the initial conditions to a different outcome like in any modeling exercise scenarios. It's good to compare them to scenario building. If the novel has worked well, you feel like you've been there done that. It's a time travel. It's telepathy. It's quite a magical thing, but it's all in the reader's head. And so it's a modeling exercise with some heft to it because you have kind of lived it.
